One of the items on my “purchase” list is an area rug for my entry way. When I found out I was able to work with Mohawk I knew this would be the chance to get that taken care of!

What I didn’t realize was the amazing selection I was going to have to choose from. Personally I think companies shouldn’t give us so many beautiful ones to choose from because I could go broke getting runners and area rugs for each room in my house! Yes, that’s a backhanded compliment. I ended up having to close my eyes and pointing at the one I was going to get between my two top choices. Ohh the pressure!

Unbelievably, my 5’x8’ Multicolor Select Linen Area Rug arrived just a few short days later! That was one package I was bursting to open up! So I lay down the area rug in the entry way and left it there for the day.

Then I started to think that my new area rug was just too nice for the entry way. So, I dragged it upstairs to the living room where it's been laying for a couple of weeks. The only thing is, I keep wondering if I should take it back down to the entry way and I just jumped the gun too soon with moving it.

The problem now is, I'm totally used to it in my living room and my boys seem to like it there as well. Looking at the photos above has me wishing I had two of the rugs. Man, I could've gotten the other area rug if I'd have known finding where my new one belonged would be such a tough choice!

Now that I have the Multicolor Select Linen Area Rug in my living room, I want hardwood floors to compliment it. A girl can dream, right?

What I like is that there are rugs for every room for the home!

About Mohawk:

Mohawk Industries is one of the foremost manufacturers and distributors of residential and commercial flooring in the world. We enjoy leading market positions across multiple flooring categories, including carpet, ceramic tile, stone, wood and rugs in the United States and laminate in the U.S. and Europe. Mohawk dates its roots to the 1800's when it became one of the first American carpet manufacturers. Today the company is headquartered in Calhoun, Georgia with operations on three continents.

I also love that Mohawk has the GreenWorks line!"One out of every five PET plastic bottles recycled in the United States are recycled by Mohawk." They also recycle rubber by making products out of them as well! "In 2009, we diverted over 18 million pounds of rubber tires, one of the largest and most hazardous types of post-consumer waste, from landfills and brought them to homes as designer doormats."

Now you have the chance to win a 5'x8' Mohawk Area Rug thanks to Mohawk!

I'm with you .. even (and maybe especially) with lovely hardwood floors, an area rug is definitely needed to break things up and make it lovely! My favorite is the Strata Sardinia rug on the Home Depot site here:

I like this one http://www.lowes.com/pd_337842-102-11239-486-5_4294856544+4294965683+4294965297_19_?productId=3306446&Ns=p_product_price|1&pl=1&currentURL=%2Fpl_Rectangular_4294856544%2B4294965683%2B4294965297_19_%3Fpage%3D6%26Ns%3Dp_product_price|1&facetInfo=Mohawk%20Home|Rectangular

Oh, my goodness - you are so right! Lowe's has a phenomenal selection!

So hard to choose; there were dozens I loved. However, I do very much need an updated runner for my foyer so, with that in mind, I would select item # 176843 the Easton Med Beige. Gorgeous! Of course, then I would need to get the larger companion piece for my dining room and smaller pieces for at the front door, as well!
